Stories of Science: Feasting on Chemistry
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many surprising and spellbinding stories from the history of science.
For the month of November, we are “feasting on chemistry” and learning about the history of food science.
Saturday’s fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take a close look at interesting items from our handling collection. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like refrigerators and LED light bulbs. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.
During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm. This week, join the gallery guides on our 2:00pm tour of Lunchtime, our special exhibition on the history and development of school lunch.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
